To all whom it may concern:

' Be it known'that- I, H NRY Boson, a citizen 0f the United-States, and resident of Linnton county of Multnomah, and State of Oregon; have invented a new and useful Improvement in Transmissions, of'which thev following': is a specification.

'Rotary-j-motion is transmitted from'this float to two drums (6) and (7) rotatably mountedfon' a shaft (8) which latter maybe supportedin any mannerdesired, as forinstancezin the two The manner of transmitting the motion-is shown somewhat diagrammatically in Fig: ure 5 and .comprisestwo-centralfhooks seni 1 renew-Sam.

The? cable (17) is connectedjbetween the, two hooks" similarly; but is wound-on the drum (7 and itswinding h'as'the opposite direc tio'n-of the winding on the drum, ('6).

The 1na'chin ery to bedriven is eonz i I'nected by a "belt'orf other means tothe large tot th atwhen the float rises both i drums rotate 1n opposite directions," and I wheels(23 and (26') and we will assume stationary bearinglme'inbers and shaft (8).

of thestatioiiary bearing member (9) and the gear wheel rotary motion to the shaft (8), which rotates in the same di- I'QCtlOll as the ratchet wheel, but at an iiicreased speed. The central gear wheel (36), being rigidly secured to the shaft (8), rotates withxtlie same. 7

The ratchet wheel (26) is rigidly secured to the sleeve (82), which is provided with a flange (37) supporting, near its outer circumference, a plurality o-fco-axial pins which carry the pinions (39) meshing with theinternal gear (41) in the pulley and the gear wheel (36). Remembering that the ratchets (26) and (23) rotate in oppositedirection, it will be seen that the gear wheel (36) and the pinion carrying flange (37) rotate in opposite direction. We then have the different motions indicated by the arrows in Figure 4. The gear wheel (36) rotates clockwise, the pinion carrying flan e (37) rotates counter-clockwise, as a resultant of which motions the pulley turns counter-clockwise with increased speed.

V The following considerations will explain the action of the different gear wheels more clearly. 'Assuming the flange (37) to be stationary, a clockwise rotation of the'gear wheel (36) causes the pinions (39) on the flange to rotate counter-clockwise and the latter rotate the pulley (31) in-the same direction. Assuming the gear wheel (36) to be stationary, a counter-clockwise rotation of the flange (37) causes the pulley (31) 0 1 0,

tate counter-clockwise. N ow if both the gear and the fiange are rotated in opposite, direction it will be easily understood that their forces combine in rotating the pulley (31) and that therefore they will rotate the same at an increased velocity.

If rising of the float actuated the rachet wheels and (26) to combine their strength in operatinggthe pulley (31), a fall .ii'ig of the float will cause the ratchet wheels (2 1) and (27) to operate the pulley (31) in thesame direction, 24: doing the work of 26, and 27 that of 23, so that a continuous rotary motion of the pulley (31) in the same direction is the resultant ofall the forces em- I claim: I I '1.
